I have been gone way too long!!

It has been over a year since I updated my blog, hopefully somebody will still look at it LOL! Keith bought me Dragon speak 12 as one of my Christmas presents so it should be a little easier for me to update... That is my hope anyways!!
A brief update about us Emerson is in grade 2 and enjoying it tremendously she's doing quite well. I am just chugging along on doing what I can.
In the coming weeks I will be updating this to catch you up on last year :-)

Happy New Years!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, full of family loved ones and friends.We had a nice Christmas- Emmy actually slept until 8:30and then I heard her talking to her stuffed animals, wondering if "Santa had come yet". After that it was a free for all until the last gift was opened. After brunch, we went to Keith's brothers house to have Christmas dinner, which was amazing.I was originally quite hesitant about going as I am still quite klutzy while eating, but in the end, it didn't matter and it was good to be around family. So now it is New Year's eve and it is the time for my annual resolutions...

1. Get back on track to lose weight -which will be easier once the season of gluttony is over.
2. Say it with me- No More Strokes, seizures or other dramatic medical emergencies.
3. Get our financial situation figured out as it worries me.
4. Stop isolating myself which is bad for me and my already damaged self-esteem. It is just so easy for me to   do for me and it is not healthy.
5. Continuing my rehabilitation so I can get back to feeling capable, and eventually get back to work.
6. Being the best Mom I can be  to my Emmy as she deserves the best. 

 I would like to wish you the very best in the new year and wish you all a year full of, health, happiness and love. May you all have a spectacular 2012!!

Family

This weekend, my brother, sister-in-law niece and nephews came for a short visit. Last time they visited was 2 years ago - so it was great to 'reintroduce' Emmy to my side of the family.
Emmy and her cousins, Malcolm, Melissa and Micah.
